Tennis Falls to Bridgewater State, 8-1

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-Visiting Bridgewater State swept the doubles matches and went on to defeat the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's tennis team, 8-1, in a Little East Conference match at the UMass Dartmouth Athletic Complex Tuesday.

Freshman Mike Parker (Scituate, MA/Scituate HS) was the Corsairs only winner on the day. He defeated senior Armindo Rocha (Brockton, MA/Brockton HS) at number two singles, 7-5, 5-7, (10-6), winning a super-tiebreaker played in place of a third set.

"I was pleased that freshman Mike Parker was able to remain undefeated at number two singles," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Tom Mendell. "We had a couple of close matches where we had an opportunity to win. Their experience won out over our inexperience."

Bridgewater State improved to 4-3 and 1-0 in the Little East Conference with the victory, while UMass Dartmouth fell to 4-2 and 0-2 in LEC play with the defeat. The Corsairs will return to action when they host Salem State Saturday. BSC will travel to Suffolk Thursday.
